Access and use

npx skills add google-gemini/gemini-skills --skill gemini-api-dev installs one skill. Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add google-gemini/gemini-skills, then /plugin install gemini-skills@gemini-skills. Codex and Cursor installs are in the README. In Antigravity the repository installs as the Gemini API plugin, which Google says also adds the Gemini Docs MCP server and API key tools. The gemini-omni-flash-api skill ships Python scripts that use GEMINI_API_KEY to upload files and generate video, which uses that key's quota and billing. The README says it is not an officially supported Google product. Apache-2.0.
